Daisy Edgar-Jones, the 27-year-old star of BBC's Normal People, has revealed she was diagnosed with endometriosis after years of suffering from unexplained pain. The actress shared her story in a video for Vogue's Beauty Secrets series, where she discussed her skincare routine and the impact of the chronic condition on her skin and hormones.
Edgar-Jones explained that she experienced severe acne during her teenage years and painful periods before receiving a diagnosis at age 24. 'For so long, I had such painful periods and really volatile skin. I was definitely relieved to find out why I was going through it,' she said. Endometriosis affects around one in 10 women of reproductive age in the UK, according to the NHS, and has no known cure.
The actress noted that her hormones are 'all over the place' due to the condition and shared that drinking plenty of water and reducing dairy intake has helped her skin. She also offered advice to others struggling with acne, saying, 'I know it's all you can see, but it's not what everyone else can see.'
Edgar-Jones rose to fame alongside Paul Mescal in the hit BBC drama Normal People and has since earned BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations. She recently appeared in the blockbuster film Twisters.
